Hire in Finland — TyEL pension, ennakkovero, and 30 days of statutory leave.
No Finnish Ltd. setup, no Migri filings on your cap table. Bordero staffs a Finland EOR entity, drafts a TSL 55/2001 contract, applies TyEL pension contributions and progressive ennakkovero on the local cycle, and bridges Holidays Act annual leave into the cycle invoice.
Finnish labour law is anchored by the Employment Contracts Act (Työsopimuslaki 55/2001) for the employment relationship, and the Holidays Act (Vuosilomalaki 162/2005) for annual leave accrual. Statutory probation under TSL 4:4 caps at six months and v1 picks 180 days as the conservative ceiling.
Payroll tax and statutory social contributions are anchored on TyEL (the statutory earnings-related pension), unemployment insurance (Työttömyysvakuutus), and health insurance (Sairausvakuutus). Ennakkovero is bracket-aware and reconciled through the Vero.fi annual-return cycle. v1 collapses the TyEL EE math and the ennakkovero math to flat effective rates, with the payslip notice surfacing both approximations.

Compliance snapshot
Finland — what Bordero carries on the ledger.
The collapsed percentages are v1 demo approximations — declared on the payslip notice and replaced with cap- and bracket-aware math for non-trivial demographics before paying a hire. Talk to sales for a counsel-reviewed breakdown.
Contract & filings
What the country-specific contract covers.
A Finland employment relationship is built on the governing law below. Bordero issues the contract, registers the entity, and handles the entity-side liabilities on the same ledger — your finance team reconciles once.
Governing law
- Employment Contracts Act (TSL 55/2001) written contract: probation capped at 6 months (TSL 4:4), notice ladder stepped by tenure, and at-will-style termination clauses not available — Finnish law requires a substantive ground.
- Holidays Act (162/2005) annual leave accrual: 2.5 days / month accrued = 30 statutory days / year for tenures of at least one year on the standard accrual calendar.
- TyEL pension declaration in the contract with the EE share collapsed into the social tile; ER-side TyEL (~17–18% in 2026) declared as a standalone entity-side liability.
- Progressive ennakkovero declared in the contract; v1 collapses the bracket math to a flat 24% effective rate; the payslip notice flags the annual-return reconciliation.
- TK (työehtosopimus — collective agreement) referral declared where applicable, mirroring the SE kollektivavtal and the IT CCNL referral discipline.
Notice & probation
How termination runs in Finland.
v1 collapses bracket-by-tenure terms into a flat default — the notice paragraph surfaces where production employers should review the bracket choice with counsel before any termination.
- Notice ladder under TSL 6:1 — 14 days under 1 year tenure, 1 month at 1–4 years, 2 months at 4–8 years, 4 months at 8–12 years, 6 months above 12 years (v1 flat default mirrors the 1-month midpoint).
- Probation under TSL 4:4 capped at 6 months; v1 picks 180 days as the conservative default.
- No statutory severance: Finland relies on the unemployment-insurance regime ("työttömyysturva") for income protection, declared as a "no severance" line in the conform.
Hiring non-residents
Right-to-work and immigration for Finland.
Non-EEA hires route through the work-permit cycle before they touch payroll. The contract template holds the permit carve-out so a baseline IAM reshape never gates on a still-pending permit.
EU Blue Card / residence permit for non-EEA hires; non-EEA citizens onboard only after the Migri permit clears.
- EU Blue Card + residence permit mapped per hire for non-EEA citizens — Migri (Finnish Immigration Service) decision archived before contract countersignature.
- Right-to-work clears for EU / EEA nationals without a permit; non-EEA hires require an active Migri residence permit + work authorisation mode specific to the permit category.
- Local municipality (kotikunta) registration acquired by the entity during onboarding; tied to the social-security tile.
